Question by nobuy0820: How can I install a subwoofer if the car stereo does not have an output ? Hi all, thanks for reading my question! I have a subwoofer and amplifier from my older car and would like to install them for my new car (Toyota Highlander). The CD stereo is the original stock, and I have already taken it out of the dashboard and checked what optional outputs it has on the back. It actually did not have a subwoofer output.

I know if I take my car to car audio shops, I can get it done fast. But I dnt want to…. Click Here to Read More

Question by flowersandbuds: Are vehicle repair shops generally okay with me buying my own parts and bringing them in for installation? The shop wants to charge a lot of money for parts on my vehicle, when I can get the exact same part for cheaper on my own.
